APB - Sephora's BI program

Anyone who loves beauty, loves free samples. And anyone who loves free samples, loves Sephora.  So if you're not already, you should DEFINITELY sign up for Sephora's rewards program and become a Beauty Insider. It's free and the only emails you get are product features or deal alerts - the emails are actually one of my favorite perks since I get to find out about promotions before everyone else. On top of that though, for every $100 you spend at Sephora you get a deluxe sample from a featured brand for FREE. I lived off of my "Hope in a Jar" deluxe sample for my entire 2 week holiday trip - so it's some serious sample action. 

You also get a birthday gift (!) - Sign up here. 

Of course I made my poor husband sign up and he just got the Anthony Logistics men's body wash as a Deluxe sample. Here's what he had to say, more or less: "Boys shouldn't smell like fruit, even citrus. It didn't lather enough either. Boys should smell like sweat and ocean." 

Since he wasn't that into it, I thought I'd give it a try and I love it! It's not too sweet for me, much more fresh and citrus-y than most women's bath gels. I also think it lathers just fine. So, chalk this one up to his vs hers.
